How to approach Threshold Eights
Threshold Eights loads the cardiovascular system, lats, quads and hamstrings hardest. Glutes, upper back and biceps take a share of the work too. Go out slower than feels natural: the opening effort is the one you can most afford to give away, and the positions you protect early are what you'll still have at the end.
Threshold Eights is scored on distance covered: the furthest total wins. A 25 mins cap applies, so anything unfinished at the buzzer is where your score lands.
